The next Pasadena Executive Roundtable meeting will be Wed., Mar. 16, 8:30 – 10 via Zoom.

Non-profit Boards often express a desire for a Board with diverse backgrounds, viewpoints and skills. But finding those Board members is no easy task. How do you connect with individuals when they may be outside of your current Board’s circle of contacts? How do you “recruit” them to your cause?

Let’s talk real life and real tactics with Yvette Ingram-Chappelle, Co-Founder of the African American Board Leadership Institute located right here in LA (ABBLI.https://aabli.org/)

AABLI’s mission is to strengthen nonprofit, public, and private organizations by recruiting and preparing African American professionals for a broad range of governing boards, and by assisting with their placement on nonprofit and corporate boards as well as on public commissions. It is a comprehensive program providing the foundation and expertise for effective organizational governance.
